In the semifinals of the Kanto Tournament, Qingdo High School played against Musashi High School. 【Full text reading】
In the first half of the fifth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
At this time, it was the turn of the second best Ryosuke Kominato in Qingdao High School's lineup.
"Ping!"
"Bad ball!"
"Ping!"
"Bad ball!"
The ball, one after another, was hit and flew out of bounds.
The catcher of Musashi High School looked desperately at the hitter who was not very tall on the strike zone, and an endless chill rose in his heart.
As a national-level strong team, the players of Musashi High School are very confident in the strength of their own ace.
Especially as a partner catcher, he knows the pitcher's strength well. Although Musashi High School's pitchers are not the kind of super strong pitchers that boost morale with just one shot. But as the ace of the team, he is very strong no matter which aspect he is.
For the simplest example, if they were replaced by these batters from their own team. There is no one who can easily hit all the **** flying out of bounds in a row.
So far, they have been entangled with a full 13 balls.
Two are good, three are bad, and eight are out of bounds!
Just look at the ball count, and you can imagine the pitcher's depression without even having to say anything.
"Whoosh!"
The 14th ball came, but Ryosuke Kominato didn't swing.
The catcher at Musashi High School breathed a sigh of relief that it was finally over!
He hasn't had a bad ball since the full count, and since Ryosuke Kominato didn't swing this one, he's going to get a strikeout.
"Snapped!"
The baseball burrowed into the catcher's open glove, and at the same time an invisible slap slapped him in the face.
"Bad ball!"
"Walk to base."
Since the full number of balls, the catcher has not assigned a bad ball, but this does not mean that the pitcher can throw all the **** into the strike zone.
Like now, after a few streaks, this one, the pitcher's pitch was off the strike zone. Ryosuke Kominato didn't let go of the pitcher's mistake, calmly watched the ball, and picked four bad hits to hit the base.
"Good luck!"
Throwing away the bat in his hand, Ryosuke Kominato ran unhurriedly towards first base. While running, he was still muttering that his luck was not bad.
For the catcher of Musashi Middle School, Ryosuke Kominato, this is like a slap in the face by Chi Guoguo.
What he said was definitely intentional, what is bad luck? You have carefully selected so many balls, can you still call it bad luck?
Ryosuke Kominato, alone, entangled the pitcher with 14 balls!
Now the game is in the fifth inning. You must know that this is the fifth inning. So far, they have not scored any outs.
This also means that although the game is in the fifth inning, they still have five innings that have not been cast.
At this time, the number of pitches by the pitcher has approached eighty!
The game wasn't even halfway through, and the number of pitches was already under a hundred. As you can imagine, it is impossible for their ace to last until the end of this game.
Qingdo High School!
As a prestigious school in the country, Musashi High School has not studied the strength of Qingdao High School on weekdays. Judging from the results of their own research, Qingdao High School's strength is at most similar to them.
After all, the outcome of the game depends on who has the better performance.
Even if Qingdao High School joined the super rookie Sawamura later, the overall strength has improved, maybe a little bit stronger than them, but it shouldn't be too strong.
Before the game, they had been thinking so. Who knows when the real game starts, they realize how naive they are.
Four innings, 3:0!
This is the gap between Musashi High School and Seodo High School right now.
At this time, some people may want to say, but it is only three points. It is not that there is no one who catches up in the second half of the game, and Musashi High School does not need to be discouraged.
In fact, the players of Musashi High School thought so too. Just starting to trail by three points, they also think they should be able to catch up soon.
But in fact, when they really fought against Qingdao, they knew how difficult it was to recover the score from Qingdao High School.
Before you can get acquainted with his pitcher, the pitcher has already been replaced. And whether it is the original pitcher or the new pitcher, their performance is very dazzling and stable.
The most terrifying thing is that Sawamura, who had been dreaded by them, has not yet reached the pitching mound!
It was not Sawamura who suppressed them so embarrassingly, but the original Qingdao High School!
"These players are really supervised by Kataoka, and they exercised well!"
Looking at the powerful Qing Dao, many reporters were amazed.
Even the Great Demon King Sawamura and that rookie who could throw a fastball didn't get on the pitching mound. Qing Dao also showed a very extraordinary strength!
Ryosuke Kominato went to base with four bad hits, and Jun Isashiki walked him to second base.
Once out, the runner is at second base!
This time it was the turn of the blow to form.
In the face of the powerful four sticks, Musashi High School did not want to walk, but once the walk was formed, they had to face Sawamura when there were people at the first and second bases.
They can't guarantee Sawamura any more, can they?
Four or five walks in a row, this game, let alone the victory or defeat, the face must be lost!
The most terrifying thing is that even if he loses his face, Qing Dao's attack will not stop.
The sixth and seventh of Qingdao High School were also very difficult to deal with. In the case of full bases, it is not ideal to fight them to the death.
At this time, the catcher of Musashi High School had a deeper understanding of the horror of Qingdo High School's line play.
horrible!
A careless, is likely to be the result of doom.
At this time, the formation of the walk will only make the path they can walk narrower and narrower. Instead of slowly pushing yourself into a corner, it's better to fight here.
But in an instant, the catcher analyzed everything and decided to go head-to-head with the formation!
"Ping!"
The ideal is incomparably beautiful, but the reality is full of cruelty. Yusei hit a well-timed double that sent Ryosuke Kominato home.
Qing Dao scored the fourth point!
Then Sawamura hit.
Once out, there is someone at first and third base!
Masuko hit the outfield to fly high, and formed a chance. When the ball fell into the outfielder's glove, he flew directly to home plate.
"Safety!"
Qing Dao scored the fifth point!
In the first half of the fifth inning, Qingdao High School's offense ended, extending the lead to five points.
The bottom half of the fifth inning.
Musashi High School attack.
Lower hitter, hits. After hitting the hit, Musashi Middle School did not rush ahead, but calmly walked the hitter back.
Five innings are over, the score is 5:1!
Qing Dao High School leads by four points.
